Palestinian Militants Execute Alleged Israeli Informers, Sparking Public Outrage
Palestinian militants in a West Bank refugee camp shot and killed two alleged collaborators with Israel, dragging their bodies through alleys and attempting to tie them to an electrical tower. The killings highlight the pressures tearing at Palestinian society as the Israel-Hamas war worsens an already bloody year for the territory. Israeli military raids, settler attacks, and Palestinian militancy in the West Bank have surged since Israel's offensive in Gaza in response to Hamas' October rampage. Over 230 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in the West Bank in the past seven weeks alone.
